Question:

5.94 For a certain section of a pine forest, the number of diseased trees per acre Y has a Poisson distribution with mean   10.

Letting C denote the total spraying cost for a randomly selected acre, find the expected value and standard deviation for C.

Within what interval would you expect C to lie with probability at least 0.75?
